just heard off the insurance company that any tank bolted in the back of your vehicle is counted as a modification of the vehicle and if its not declared can void your insurance apparently : some companies have a limit of 600 ltrs anyone else had this issue and can you point me to some decent van insures please guys as i've tried all compare sites , my premiems have jumped up 30% and i have no claims  is this the same across the board?

i assume the 600 ltrs is the size of the water tank in the van.

well having a bolted down cage around a tank is really a modification

wasnt that part of the reason why people bolted in big tie down points and used ratchet straps

Yes a tank bolted in is classed as a modification and you have to declare it or insurance is void.

I have 2 modifications in the van... 400L tank and cage bolted down. Also I have two seats In the back bolted down for the kids...

Your insurance co is quite right, a system in a van is a vehicle modification and you have to have it declared specifically on your motor insurance policy otherwise it is void, and you are driving without insurance.

Its also no good just telling them about it, as that doesnt count for anything.  They have to actually ammend your policy so that the actual wording "VEHICLE MODIFIED TO INCLUDE 600 LITRE WATER TANK" or similar on your insurance certificate.  If you dont have that then you're motor insurance in void.

Sorry if I appear a bit  stupid, but are you saying, if the cage is tied down with ratchet straps then this is ok?
I Have a 1000l tank and cage in my toyota hiace and I use ratchet straps to lash it down, thought this was fine as I havent made any modifications to it?
